SEA Graduates Resident Course

NEWPORT, R.I. -- Eighty-nine members of the Resident Course, Class 169, at the Senior Enlisted Academy (SEA) at Naval Station Newport graduated Oct. 25, in ceremonies at the Officers’ Club.

Sgt. Maj. Brian Battaglia, USMC, Senior Enlisted Adviser to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was the guest speaker.

The SEA resident course curriculum develops stronger leaders. The six-week course prepares senior enlisted leaders to better fulfill expanded leadership and management responsibilities in advanced professional military settings. Extensive reading, writing, self-study, and public speaking are part of the program. The class is divided into small study groups to allow a free exchange of ideas, share professional experiences, debate problem solving issues, and foster self-confidence and team building.

The course is academically challenging with weekly quizzes, cumulative exams, four essay-type papers,
and five oral presentations. The curriculum specifically addresses the following areas: communications
skills, leadership and organizational behavior, national and international studies.

Class 169 graduates include 80 U.S. Navy, three U.S. Marine Corps, four U.S. Air Force, one U.S. Coast Guard, and an international military member.
